the Globe and Mail Globe: "It sounds like an overblown cautionary tale for parents, but teen prostitution is an emerging middle-class phenomenon in Canada, says journalist and documentary filmmaker Sharlene Azam in her new book Oral Sex Is the New Goodnight Kiss (which is accompanied by a DVD).
One prostitution ring saw more than 15 girls aged 12 to 16 from several Edmonton middle and high schools offering their bodies to older men who gambled in a townhouse; another involved 15-year-old high-school girls charging college guys $20 for oral sex in Kelowna, B.C. In Surrey, B.C., pimps recruited 12-year-olds at their local mall. "
YT: "This book and documentary film are about the recent emergence of teenage prostitution rings in affluent Canadian suburbs. Attractive, white, high school girls - 13, 14 and 15 years old - are having sex with up to 7 men a night, several times a week, so they can go shopping. Other girls are selling their virginity for $1000. These are not street prostitutes. "They are the prettiest girls from the most successful families," explains one expert. "Your daughter's best friend is recruiting her right out of your house, right under your nose," says Detective Randy Wickins of the Edmonton Vice Unit. Oral Sex Is The New Goodnight Kiss is a wake up call for parents, showing them girls who have been recruited, their mothers, their "friends" who recruited them (the new pimps), and the vice cops and experts who are trying to make sense of this new middle-class phenomenon.

KrupoYou wonder, where are the parents? From an interview with the author/director:
"Q: Nearly all of the girls were living with single moms. What role do absent fathers play?
They're completely absent. And in a way, so are their mothers. What I saw a lot of was poor judgment. The mothers were so busy with their own lives. A lot of them were involved in their own romances. They just bury their heads because they don't know what to do."
Sad.

billpayerThis happened 10 years ago in Japan, it's called compensation dating.
It's really all down to this societies shallow consumerist nature and teenage girls shallow consumerist nature.
Pprtsays...This practice is called "grooming" and is commonplace in the Third World. Especially among Arabs and Indians.
To my knowledge, Nick Griffin of the BNP is the only politician that has outspoken on this issue in the UK. He almost was jailed for it, in fact.

dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Never heard of the term ""rainbow party" before.
I am old.
calvadosAhaha, dag's old
TrancecoachThey make it sound like 14 year old girls having sex with upwards of 5 men in a single night is a bad thing!
KrupoMaybe we're only now catching up to their consumerism... oh dear.

Yes, I heard about this happening in Japan, and figured, "meh, maybe their culture doesn't view this as crazy."
... plus they didn't have interviews with the girls to view on videosift so it didn't hit me as hard.

spoco2I think this is far more a product of Krupo's point than billpayer's point.
Having parents who give their children little to no attention AND having completely absent fathers to boot... where else can a young girl get the attention and 'affection' she wants? From boys in this way.
Very, very sad, just don't try to write it off so easily as another consumerist society problem (although if the reason the parent's are giving no attention is because they're chasing the dollars at work, then to a degree it is), think of it far more as an issue with not taking parenting and YOUR role as a parent seriously.
You don't just give birth (or far too often now, schedule a convenient Caesar) and then pay the bills for your child... you actually have to be A PARENT.
Poor kids, they are screwed for life because of this.
gwiz665You have my complete attention.
id49606says...More reasons to make prostitution legal. I'm not in support of 12 year olds giving blow jobs(16 year olds are another story), but if adults can work in a legal environment, it makes it easier to draft tougher laws against stuff like this. Because it means there's an even bigger difference between doing one legal act and doing several illegal acts at the same time.
As for the absent parents issue, it helps if both parents are around, but it really won't stop this from happening. Those same sorts of sex parties have been around for a long time. My mother admits to going to some, when she was my age, and had 2 loving, catholic parents who were VERY involved in her life.
Teens are sexual, because they're supposed to be. They have this huge internal thing happening to them, that's tell them to breed. Should it happen like this? Probably not, but it's been happening this way and in far worse ways for thousands of years. It's just silly to get freaked out over it now. The solutions to this conflict are all based on how we all view what we're "allowed" and "not allowed" to do in our own lives.

I'm waiting for people to jump all over this...

eaglekissfbThey don't just need $1000! Even if you give them what they need, they still need more! You cannot have $1000 everytime they ask you for or everytime they need it. The major cause of today's sex movement in young people is the shift in our human life pattern or style that involves adult's (parents') liberality about sex, from women's rights, gender's struggle for equality, separation, divorce, same sex marriage, domestic violence, single-motherhood etc. Children are almost abandoned while adults are busy chasing after their own pleasures and freedoms. They also immitate adults' lifestyle. No cure!
